    Interesting and not a bad idea. Can't see us doing the same and having an MP for ex-patriates based in Spain though. I wonder if we'll see French lobbying of the British parliament.

    Is it just me or does anyone else feel it is ironic that the Front National (an anti-immigration party) are fielding an immigrant as a candidate:
    • Axelle Lemaire, Socialist Party (London)
    • Emmanuelle Savarit, UMP party (London)
    • Yannick Naud, Democratic Movement (London)
    • Will Mael Nyamat, independent (London)
    • Olivier Bertin, Green Party (London)
    • Olivier Cadic, Centrist Alliance (London)
    • Denys Dhiver, supported by the Christian Democratic Party and France Ecologie (Leicester, UK)
    • Gaspard Koenig, Liberal Democratic (London)
    • Guy Le Guezennec, National Front (Kent, UK)
    • Jerome de Lavenere Lussan, independent (London)
    • Marie-Claire Sparrow, Gathering of French residents overseas (Essex, UK)
    • Bertrand Larmoyer, independent liberal (London)
    • Aberzack Boulariah, independent (Ireland)
    • Olivier de Chazeaux, supported by the Radical Party, New Centre, and Republican, Ecologist and Social Alliance (Paris)
    • Lucile Jamet, Left Front
    • Patrick Kaboza, independent candidate (Riga, Latvia)
    • Ezella Sahraoui, Radical Party of the Left (Lille, France)
    • Christophe Schermesser, European Federalist Party (Finland)
    • Edith Tixier, Solidarity and Progress party
    • Anne-Marie Wolfson, independent (Paris)
    Judging from his surname I would guess he's 'Breton' rather than 'French' anyway, it would be a bit like Siobhan O'Neill standing for the English League or whatever those onanists are called.

    UK expatriates can vote up to fifteen years in the constituency that they were last registered in for British Elections . There are thought to be 5 million expats around the globe. They can vote by post or via a proxy in the UK.

    Another reason not to go to London then.
